Hi All,

I am new to this forum as well as in oracle PL/SQL. I am a java resource but company gave me this work.

I have almost finished this xml parsing task but their is one problem. Actually in our table there are more than 70-80 columns & due to that only I don't want to put the hard coded column name in my procedure, because if I will do that, the unnecessary procedure size will be increase(means line of code).

Here is our procedure



 Create or replace procedure loadMyXML(dir_name IN varchar2, xmlfile IN varchar2) AS
  l_bfile   	BFILE;
  l_clob    	CLOB;
  l_parser  	dbms_xmlparser.Parser;
  l_doc     	dbms_xmldom.DOMDocument;
  l_nl1     	dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
  l_nl2     	dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
  l_n       	dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
  node1     	dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
  l_colName    	VARCHAR2(100);
  
  l_xmltype 	XMLTYPE;
  sub_xmltype 	XMLTYPE;
  
  num_nodes    	    number;
  temp_imei_val		VARCHAR2(15);
  temp_imsi_val		VARCHAR2(15);
  temp_cellid		VARCHAR2(10);
  l_index			PLS_INTEGER;
  l_subIndex 	PLS_INTEGER;

And what is this???

t_tab(t_tab.last).l_colName

l_colName value is attribute name. So referencing t_tab(t_tab.last).l_colName would be same as select emp.l_colName from emp where l_colName value is, for example ename. What you are trying to do is dynamic sql.

Hi Syakobson,

Thanks for your reply...

As I have mention in my first post that I am new to PL/SQL programming.
In xml file there are all columns name and I just want to use those columns name with "t_tab(t_tab.last)".

Those columns name I am taking in a variable l_colName and want to use those variable with t_tab(t_tab.last), whereas t_tab is the rowtype of table test_hem which contains around 60-70 columns.

I know that l_colName is not a components of t_tab due to that only it is throwing error. But Is there any way to use while loop for getting the column name & its values from the xml file.

Again thanks in advance and any kind of help is really appreciated.
